    If I lived in the area I would try it and see how far I could make it. But ya I wouldn't think of making my way there with just a 2" lift.

ID:	1039The lakes were very full, including this area where the trail was underwater to about 3/4 of the way up the tires. Black bears are common in this area.

ID:	1043This was as far as I went. I think I could have gotten through here, but a hundred yards further or so was definitely guna make some damage.

    Those pictures bring back memories. I used to be a member of the Seirra Ridge Riders and I have some pictures from aabout 15 years ago. I took my 15 year old son, Billy with me on the trail. At the start of the trail we found two guys stranded in the middle of the trail in deep water. Billy waded right in with a strap to pull them out. Turned out that they were meeting up with our group for the run. Billy was the "Hero of the Day".

    I am not trying to hijack your thread and some of these pictures might look familiar to you as to the background.

    I would love to run it but it looks like this is off my list until a bigger lift is one my list.

    Are you paying off the bear so he leaves you alone? A little tip as it were....?
